Unit code "2F" on FW 190A
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hi.
Photo of destroyed FW 190A with distinguishable code 2F on the fuselage. What is this unit? Can it be Stabsstaffel / St.G.3 ?

From ww2.dk


"Kampfgeschwader 54 (to 3.40), 5./Kampfgeschwader 28, Stabsstaffel/St.G.3"

Probably Stab/ SG 3

This appears to be somewhere in Northern Italy (Campoformido?). Units in Italy that flew FW 190 in 1945 were NAGr 11, NSGr 9 and SNSt 20.
I believe Schlachtgeschwader 3 ended the war on the Eastern Front.

True in way, but these were the same aircraft passed on from SNSt. 20 to NAGr. 11 and then to Stab/NSG 9.

As far as I could deduce, their last few Fw 190 A-8 went first to NAGr. 11 and then to NSG 9:

2 November 1944: Seenotstaffel 20, Udine, 4(4) Fw 190 A-8, Obltn. Langer

10 November 1944: Seenotstaffel 20, 10 (10) Fw 190 A-8

31 December 1944: Seenotstaffel 20, 6 (4) Fw 190 A-8

1 March 1945: Stab/NAGr. 11, 4 Fw 190 A-8

1 April 1945: Stab/NAGr. 11, 3 (2) Fw 190 A-8

22 April 1945: 1./NSGr. 9, Villafranca 3 (2) Fw 190 A-8 and 4 (4) Fw 190 F-8

Fw 190 A-8, W.Nr.734018, E8+BB was found as a wreck at Villafranca di Verona on 2 May 1945, as was W.Nr. 734014. Both had FuG 101 which might fit with earlier employment over the Adriatic.

A blurry photo emerged of Fw 190 +CB at Innsbruck-Hötting postwar; it had a blown canopy and the bulged cowling but whether it was an A or an F-model, who knows? Purely conjecture but I wonder if NSG 9’s three A-8s were E8+AB, BB and CB?

Thank you all for your answers.
I have not seen the photographically documented unit code 2F on the FW 190 A/F/G.
Behind the cross on the fuselage, we can recognize the red ? 3 or 9.

Lubo.
